OPI Big Hair... Big Nails

7.27.2011

Going back to the OPI Texas Collection, Big Hair...Big Nails is listed as a "rosy pageant peach." Okay, I may not be a color expert, but this is no peach. Or is it? The odd thing about these jelly/sorbet colors is that it's not going to look like its bottle.

I started with a base coat of OPI Natural Nail, 3 coats of polish and a top coat of OPI Top Coat. On my index and middle finger I put down a base of OPI Alpine Snow just to see if it would make a huge difference.

In the sun you can't really tell the difference between the polish alone and the polish over Alpine Snow. I guess I picked the wrong shade to try it with, haha.

In the shade you can just barely tell that there isn't a smile line on the first two fingers but there is on the last two fingers.

Here's where the difference comes in - indoors with the flash. The nails (index and middle) with the Alpine Snow layer appear brighter (and a bit streaker) than the other two which are polish alone. So is it worth it for a layer of white under? Not for this color.
